Manila Sound was made famous by a folk rock band called Hotdog. Their songs: "Ikaw Ang Miss Universe Ng Buhay Ko" (or "You Are the Miss Universe Of My Life"), "'Manila'", and "Beh Buti Nga"; had catchy melody phrases common to the music type.[3] Later, the singer-songwriter, Freddy Aguilar, used the music type with his music to express the suffering of the people.[4] His song, Bayan Ko, was popular in protests.[4]
